As soon as Hua Manman left, Li Cheng left too.
Lin Qingzhi knew she could no longer stay by Prince Zhao's side.
So she hurriedly chased after the Crown Prince.
She explained as she walked.
"I never wanted to cook for them at all. Lady Hua forced me to do it.
Everything she told you just now was made up. She's trying to sow discord. You mustn't fall for her tricks!"
Li Cheng sneered. "Do you take me for a fool? Do you think I can't tell if what Lady Hua said was true or not?"
Lin Qingzhi was so frantic she was on the verge of tears.
"I have always been completely loyal to you! I have never been unfaithful!"
Li Cheng retorted.
"If you're not unfaithful, then why did you stay the night at Prince Zhao's residence?
Has something been going on between you two for a while now?"
Lin Qingzhi swore an oath to the heavens.
"If I have any sort of illicit relationship with Prince Zhao, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
